Toledo is 9-8-0 against the spread (ATS) this season and has covered the spread in two of its last three games. The Rockets have also covered the spread in each of their last five road games, including a 7.5-point spread in an 85-78 loss to the red-hot Akron Zips on Jan. 14. See which team to pick here.
Why Bowling Green can cover
Although the Rockets have the upper hand in the series, the Falcons won the last meeting at Stroh Center 76-68 behind guard Marcus Hill, who put up 31 points in that game. Hill has since transferred to North Carolina State, so Bowling Green will lean on senior forward Marcus Johnson since he leads both the team and the entire conference with 16.1 points per game. He and guard Trey Thomas (11.8) have combined for the second-most points per game in conference play among duos, and they are expected to challenge a Toledo defense that is allowing 76.1 points per game.
The Falcons are 7-7-2 ATS this season and have covered the spread twice over their last three games. They have also covered the spread in two of their last three home games, which suggests they could keep Friday’s game close. See which team to pick here.
